Quick Guide To Patching This Package For The Impatient3
+
------------------------------------------------------4
+
5
+
1. Make sure you have quilt installed6
+
2. Unpack the package as usual with "dpkg-source -x"7
+
3. Run the "patch" target in debian/rules8
+
4. Create a new patch with "quilt new" (see quilt(1))9
+
5. Edit all the files you want to include in the patch with "quilt edit" 10
+
(see quilt(1)).11
+
6. Write the patch with "quilt refresh" (see quilt(1))12
+
7. Run the "clean" target in debian/rules13
+
14
+
Alternatively, instead of using quilt directly, you can drop the patch in to 15
+
debian/patches and add the name of the patch to debian/patches/series.16
+
17
+
While building from git, dpkg-source can complain about symlinks vs.18
+
normal files mismatches. To work around this issue, before uploading,19
+
and without committing:20
+
21
+
find -type l | while read dest; do src=$(readlink -f $dest); rm $dest; cp $src $dest; done22

Guide To The X Strike Force Packages25
+
------------------------------------26
+
27
+
The X Strike Force team maintains X packages in git repositories on28
+
git.debian.org in the pkg-xorg subdirectory. Most upstream packages29
+
are actually maintained in git repositories as well, so they often30
+
just need to be pulled into git.debian.org in a "upstream-*" branch.31
+
Otherwise, the upstream sources are manually installed in the Debian32
+
git repository.33
+
34
+
The .orig.tar.gz upstream source file could be generated using this35
+
"upstream-*" branch in the Debian git repository but it is actually36
+
copied from upstream tarballs directly.37
+
38
+
Due to X.org being highly modular, packaging all X.org applications39
+
as their own independent packages would have created too many Debian40
+
packages. For this reason, some X.org applications have been grouped41
+
into larger packages: xutils, xutils-dev, x11-apps, x11-session-utils,42
+
x11-utils, x11-xfs-utils, x11-xkb-utils, x11-xserver-utils.43
+
Most packages, including the X.org server itself and all libraries44
+
and drivers are, however maintained independently.45
+
46
+
The Debian packaging is added by creating the "debian-*" git branch47
+
which contains the aforementioned "upstream-*" branch plus the debian/48
+
repository files.49
+
When a patch has to be applied to the Debian package, two solutions50
+
are involved:51
+
* If the patch is available in one of the upstream branches, it52
+
may be git'cherry-picked into the Debian repository. In this53
+
case, it appears directly in the .diff.gz.54
+
* Otherwise, the patch is added to debian/patches/ which is managed55
+
with quilt as documented in /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source.
